'Junction Jack' has just retired
Posted 03/20/09 by Jack Strongitharm
Hmmm, I think it is time to get a new nick name as I have been put out of work.
I have uploaded a new video (finally!) to the Youtube site of myself trying to design a junction (aka intersection) as quick as possible and then try the same design in 2010.
I had to speed up the 2009 quite a bit!!
Excited?
Its like having a mini me inside the box doing all the work for you!
For those who have learn't from first principles, you will appreciate what it is now doing, but also you can get into the design and make any required edits.
Official launch is next week, so we can start to get into the detail then while your lovely DVD's are on route to you on subscription next month.
Thanks to Dana Probert for also filling up the YouTube channel site also, so please have a look around if you haven't been for a while.
Have a great weekend, its amazing the sun is still out and it is dry!! (its normally grim up north!)
